Diffusion resistance and enzyme activity decay in a pellet

The effective enzyme activity decay can be decreased by diffusion limitation in the immobilized pellet. Thiele modulus changes and/or poisoning of various enzyme forms are two phenomena which are influenced by diffusion limitation. This article considers these effects on enzyme decay as applied to glucose isomerase.
